Okos, jól néz ki, és még remek humorérzéke is van, Dexter Morgannak (Michael C. Hall) mindenki kedvenc sorozatgyilkosának. A miami rendőrségnél dolgozik vérnyom-szakértőként, nappal a bűncselekmények felderítésével, éjszaka pedig azok elkövetésével foglalkozik. De Dexter szigorú etikai kódex szerint él, csak gyilkosokat gyilkol. Az első évadból megismerhetjük sanyarú gyermekkorát, hogyan és miért lépett a bűn útjára, felvállalva, hogy leszámol azokkal, akik elkerülték az igazságszolgáltatást. (HBO Europe)

Dexter (2006)
Dexter immediately captivates with its original premise of a “good” serial killer who works on the police, murdering evil serial killers while leading a normal family life, and entertains with its take on silly soap operas as the main character tries to balance his dual life as a killer and family man. Most of the ironic humor rests on Dexter's memorable internal monologues, which he uses to sarcastically crash any melodramatic situations. Personally, I'm not a fan of voiceovers, but I can't imagine Dexter without them. Without them, the inner contradiction of a character who has no emotions and tries to pretend he's just like everyone else could never work. Dexter also amusingly satirizes the usually serious forensic investigations of procedural crime shows like CSI. However, from about halfway through (after the departure of the original showrunner) it starts to suffer from what a lot of long-running shows suffer from: the proliferation of side plots from the lives of minor characters that nobody cares about, as well as the unintentionally comical pathetic moments that the series initially made such a mockery of. The story becomes less and less believable and, as a result, less and less suspenseful. In later episodes, Dexter doesn't adhere so strictly to the strict code that helped him not get caught. He's getting more and more lax, but he still gets away with it. Some major events don't even have the expected serious consequences and are brushed off too quickly. And if that wasn't enough, this is one of the worst endings of any series ever. I don't know anyone who wasn't upset by it. But don't let that put you off, the first four seasons are top-notch. ()
